This post along with the kids’ clothes is brought to you by Carter’s. I’m not going to lie, it’s HARD to take pictures of wiggly kids. In fact if I was being completely honest with you all, I was sweating trying to capture some of these fun photos. Remember I’m a 43 year old mom…

Make Pumpkins for the Classroom and for Your Teachers
One of the greatest things in life is giving surprise gifts. And even better, is when you can make them yourself. I have said so many times, I don’t do enough for our beloved teachers. They give so much, love so much, and care so much for our/my kids – that I always want…
Thanksgiving Chalkboard Printables
So…I think I finally have a year’s worth of Holiday chalkboard printables with the completion of these Thanksgiving ones in this post. I started these Chalkboard printables last year around Christmas, and my how this trend grew! I absolutely love them & I also love at times to use one above my mantel. The black…

Low Calorie Peanut Butter Cheesecake
It’s nice to have the best of both worlds, the combination of Peanut Butter & chocolate are all I need to get me through the day. I’ve been trying (key word, being trying) to watch my calories & move around more during the day. When you’re a blogger, it seems like all you do is sit…

My best days are when I can surprise the kids with fun things. Of course, that’s their funnest days as well. 😉 We stayed home almost all weekend, played Halloween Bingo, watched some Halloween movies in between football games & read several books. It was a rare weekend where we didn’t really have anything planned…
Fall Bucket List
Our Fall Break begins next week for a few days. Is it okay if I scream out loud, ” F R E E D O M ? ” Just so you know, this Mom really & truly loves a routine. Trust me, I’ve said that many a times when I’ve reached my breaking point at…
Watercolor and Gold Pumpkins #thinkpink
I think most of you know, I love color. And of course, I happen to love glitter too. So when two of my favorites things happen on to be on the same projects, I tend to squeal a little in delight. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the natural hues and textures that…
Sausage Stuffing. What Thanksgiving Dreams are made of.
Some of my very best memories of my childhood are wrapped up into this recipe. Knowing that my cousins would arrive the next day after my Mom made this stuffing was probably the best of all. Going to bed the night before Thanksgiving with the aroma of this cooking in the kitchen &…
